fort worth
by Ann Howells
|
west begins here
culture evolves
naturally
symphony & stockyards
museums & museums
& museums
coddled longhorns trudge
their familiar mile
for weekend tourists
past is conspicuous
buildings reclaimed
ghosts cherished
here
tall men still walk
in hand tailored suits
boots & stetsons
cattle & oil built this town
oil & cattle maintain
